Sparkling Rosé

 

VinificationThe Shiraz used to make this wine is grown in some of the coolest parts of Nashik to achieve high levels of natural acidity desirable for a good sparkling wine. After hand picking and sorting, the grapes are gently pressed. Only the first press fraction which is of the highest quality is used to make the base wine. After fermentation, processing and filtration, yeast and sugar is added to the wine in bottle for a secondary bottle fermentation. The bottles are aged for at least 12 months prior to disgorging and corking. Wine is further aged for 2-3 months before releasing in the market

Tasting Notes: This aromatic sparkling rosé has vibrant & refreshing notes of red fruits on the nose with underlying complex flavours of cookies and cream attained from the bottle ageing. The tannins from shiraz and fine mousse lend this wine a good texture, structure and balance. The residual sugar integrates very well with the fruit giving the wine a hint of honeyed characters on both the nose and palate.
